City of Joondalup sends new waste law out for public comment

THE City of Joondalup has drafted a waste local law, which will be advertised for public comment.

A November council document said the law would be a key tool to improve the City’s management and enforcement of waste-related activities while supporting the goals of its Waste Management Plan 2016-2021.

“It is an integral component of the City’s |future approach to waste management and in particular, provides a mechanism to reinforce educational campaigns aimed at changing behaviour and increasing participation in waste generation and disposal,” it said.

“It is considered the draft Waste Local Law 2016 represents a contemporary view of waste management services and will be a timely replacement of the existing provisions of the outdated Health Local Law 1999.”
